ownCloud Community Edition 5.0 Officially Launched

The latest version of ownCloud can be downloaded from Softpedia

ownCloud, an open source secure file sync and share software, announced the release of its latest community edition, giving users a customizable and secure way to host their own cloud file sync and share.

The ownCloud Community edition is developed with the help of the community, as the name implies. It comes with a multitude of new features, such as a Deleted Files app, improved apps management, and a refreshed design.

“Another great effort by the community and ownCloud employees has produced a fantastically feature-rich, quality ownCloud edition.

”The ownCloud project has always been about providing people with the easiest, safest way to sync their files across multiple devices and share them with friends, family and colleagues. This latest effort adds and improves some great features, while significantly enhancing quality and user experience,” said Frank Karlitschek, founder and CTO, ownCloud.

Highlights of ownCloud 5.0:

• Users can now view content in a simplified and redesigned interface, with the main web navigation panel now clearly differentiated from in-app navigations;

• Restore accidently deleted files and folders and manually delete sensitive files, while the system now automatically cleans up older files depending on age and used space;

• Find files stored by name — and now by content — with a new Lucene-based full text search engine app;
